"He shows the just cause of his complaining
and concerning that Eliphaz had exhorted him to return to God, Job
22:21 he declares that he desires nothing more, but it seems that
God would not be found of him."

"A patient waiting for death and judgment is
our wisdom and duty, and it cannot be without a holy fear and
trembling. A passionate wishing for death or judgement is our sin
and folly, and ill becomes us, as it did Job."

"Job resonates. Job echoes not just Jesus' cries,
but our very own. Job gives voice to the bitter complaints and
terrors that any believer may feel and that no doubt some who
will join us for worship this Sunday are feeling. We do well both to
let him speak, and to speak with him."

"As long as we worship a "hidden" God, we may never permanently dispel our doubts about God and salvation. But in the face of our deepest doubts, the idea that Jesus incarnated God means that God really and truly understands what it is like to be fully human. Jesusâ€™ experience of our full humanity assures us that God empathizes with us in every facet of our lives."

"It is a very
realistic picture of a person who is confident, on one the hand
about some aspects of their relationship with God, and on the other
hand are aware of the mystery and what they don't know about God.
This chapter continues to affirm that it is okay to rail and make
complaint against God."
